Possible Mail Merge

[Beth]

I wasn't sure if I should post this message on the
PowerPoint board or the Excel board, so I'll post it on
both.

I have a spreadsheet with names - Column A contains the
last name and column B contains the first name. I
created a certificate in PowerPoint and I have to print
out a certificate for each person on that spreadsheet.
Is there a way of using Mail Merge to merge the list of
names to the certificate? If so, how can this be done?

Thank you

PowerPoint does not support Mail Merge. Why don't you create your
certificate in Word? Word provides exactly the same drawing tools as
PowerPoint so it should be just as easy to create it in Word.

It can't be done with straight PowerPoint but visit

We have an inexpensive addin called PPTMerge that does exactly this and quite a
bit more. There's a free demo to try out.
